This lab we show how to calculate the propagated error in each of our density measurements. We will first determine our measurements as an experiment then calculate a theoretical value.
Experiment:
The first measurement we took was the diameter of each cylinder and its height. When then measured the mass of each cylinder to calculate the density which is mass divided by volume. Volume is equal to PI * r^2 * h.
We logged all the data on a white board as a table. With the data we calculated our propagated error.
Here is a picture of the experimental phase of measuring and weighing the items.
Here is are table with are calculated errors. The formula we used for our data is:
Our values are dd = 0.1, dh = 0.1, dm = 0.1 which we found by our scales measurement of error.
